I barely ever see furs/scales on here; are they frowned upon or something?

The accompanying short story, the context being that she is testing a new deterrent for a security system:

*The scientist yelped with surprise as she felt the beam flash over her. The detection system was proven technology so of course she would be caught out on this little test course she had constructed - not least because she was so... well, easy to catch, but what did surprise her was the immediacy with which the beam that followed took effect.

No sooner had the red ray shot from the device on the wall, had her bosom and her rump begun to bulge forth. The buttons of her white lab-coat pinged off around breast and hip height, the gecko scrabbling at the rest to make sure they didn't befall the same fate. Her underwear, however, was not so lucky. The orange bikini top she wore was already a little undersized - she had eaten rather more fatty foods than usual in the last few days, and it had gone straight to her breasts. Thus, as they swelled and bloomed under the effect of the experimental growth ray, it wasn't long before there was a brief ripping sound and the tattered garment fell to the floor.

Connie tried to make a break for it, but as she reached the door, her breasts pinned it shut. She was panicking quite badly at this point, so it didn't occur to her to turn to her side so that her breasts were not blocking the door, and for now, she was still at the mercy of the growth ray. She had to take some of the weight of her still growing tits off of her back, so she rested them on the wall by the door.

In the heat of the moment, she had quite disregarded her ass, which had become quite a bit plumper by now, at about double its previous size. Her bikini bottom was made of stretcher material, but even that had its mechanical limits... as it began to rip under the strain, Connie let out a feeble, teary "H-heeeeeelp..." to whoever happened to be listening. But this was her lab, and she worked alone...*
